Terrible world history

The following is a "history" collected by teachers throughout the United
States, from eighth grade through college level. Read carefully, and you
will learn a lot of incorrect information.

The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the
Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such
that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so areas of the dessert are
cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of
a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between
France and Spain.

The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the
Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. On of
their children, Cain, once asked, "Am I my brother's son?" God asked
Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Isaac, stole
his brother's birth mark. Jacob was a patriarch who brought up his twelve
sons to be patriarchs, but they did not take it. One of Jacob's sons,
Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.

Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led
them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without
any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten
commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with
the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in the Biblical times. Soloman, one of
David's sons, had 500 wives and 500
porcupines.

Without the Greeks we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three
kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric, and Ironic. They also had myths. A
myth is a female moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped
him in the River Stynx until he became intollerable. Achilles appears in
The Iliad, by Homer. Homer also wrote The Oddity, in which Penelope was
the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was
not written by Homer but by another man of that name.

Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice.
They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.

In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, the
threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The
government of Athens was democratic because people took the law into their
own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high
that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When
they fought with the Persians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the
Persians had more men.

Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans
because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets,
the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself
on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they
thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would
turture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them.

Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames. King Arthur
lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harold mustarded his troops before the
Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was canonized by Bernard Shaw, and victims
of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, Magna Carta
provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense.

In medevil time most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of
the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and versus and also wrote
literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through
an apple while standing on his son's head.

The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of
their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at
Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being
excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interes in the
female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of
great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter
Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another
important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake
circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.

The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking
difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the
"Virgin Queen." As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed
herself before her troops, they all shouted, "hurrah." Then her navy went
out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo.

The greatest write of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear
never made much money and is only famous because of his plays. He lived at Windsor
with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In
one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by
relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tried to
convince Macbeth to kill the Kind by attack his manhood. Romeo and Juliet
are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear
was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton.
Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote
Paradise Regained.

During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great
navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His
ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later, the
Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and this was known as Pilgrims Progress. When they
landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by the Indians, who came down the hill
rolling their war hoops before them. The Indian squabs
carried porpoises on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed,
along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal for them. The winter of
1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies
were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.

One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in
their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels through the post
without stamps. During the War, the Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls
over stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the
colonists won the War and no longer had to pay for taxis.

Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress.
Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the
Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his
clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. He invented
electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, "A horse devided
against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.

George Washington married Martha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our
Country. Then the Constitution of the United States was adopted to secure domestic
hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms.

Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest president. Lincoln's mother died
in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own
hands. When Lincoln was President, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said,
"In onion there is strength." Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address
while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope.
He also freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation, and the
Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex-Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux
Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. It
claimed it represented law and odor. On the night of April 14, 1865,
Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors
in a moving picture show. The believed assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a
supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career.

Meanwhile in Europe, the enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare
invented electricity and also wrote a book called Candy. Graity was
invented by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in the Autumn, when the
apples are falling off trees.

Bach was the most famous composer in the world, and so was Handel. Handel was half
German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to
the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote
loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for
him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

France was in a very serious state. The French Revolution was accomplished
before it happened. The Marseillaise was the theme song of the French
Revolution, and it catapulted into Napoleon. During the Napoleonic Wars,
the crowned heads of Europe were trembling in their shoes. The the Spanish
gorillas came down from the hills and nipped at Napoleon's flanks.
Napoleon became ill with bladder problems and was very tense and
unrestrained. He wanted an heir to inherit his power, but since Josephine
was a baroness, she couldn't bear children.

The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in
the East and the sun sets in the West. Queen Victoria was the longest
queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. Her reclining years and finally
the end of her life were exemplary of a great personality. Her death was
the final event which ended her reign.

The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts.
The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up.
Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of
hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code of telepathy. Louis Pasteur
discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote
the Organ of the Species.

So what Jefferson was saying was "Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus.  So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too." Yeah?  Jeff Spicoli

school learnin' can be a great thing, but learnin' comes from home first. Yes mom, Ok dad, You will not talk to your mother that way, Your father is right, Not when you live under my roof. I didn't know how good having little was until I tried to have any on my own. Now that I have some I still think that a little can be good. More is better, just charge it, I'll put that on a payment plan. I realize credit is a way of life now, tomarrow maybe not. Teach those you love well at home then let that edumacation desire grow.

To gain a base of knowledge, we first have to learn by imitation, then by rote memory. Later, we can dissemble and reassemble things for our selves.

Education, in the long run, teaches us how to learn and how to think. Training, on the other hand, teaches us to know and do. Both are required for a finished product.

Jeez! How did everyone miss this? :shock: 'Specially coming from the Chief Dissembler himself? Was the 'Super Yooper' asleep at the wheel of his bagpipes? And just where was the resident 'Atrophied Attorney' the day Jack left the door open?
Just let me get busy for a while and when I get back I see such ripe cues available for easy pickings! :lol:

Tom, I didn't want to scare them with the real terms of "analysis" for dissembling, and "synthesis" for reassembling in a new way. That would be way too advanced for the likes of these folk, ehh? (New way to start a fire without a match.)

Man can live about three days without water, five to seven days without food, and an entire Lifetime without a new idea.
